Chapter 981 Across the Canyon

Crossing the Grand Canyon is not an easy task, so Gordon and his team had developed a complete itinerary plan with the advice and help of the Grand Leader and the Research Class Leader long ago.

On the first night, they crossed the mountains and entered the Grand Canyon, then followed the valley floor to the second barrier formed by the peaks, hid there, rested and spent the dangerous daytime, avoiding those annoying acid pterosaurs.

So far, the plan has been going very smoothly.

Pig Chop even took the time to run to the location where he and Liefeng found the graffiti of the Strange Face Tribe when they came last time.

The paint is very stable, and the graffiti on the rock wall has not become blurred after nearly two months.

Pig Chop took out his little notebook and compared it with the pattern he copied at that time. The graffiti has not changed.

This is a relatively important information.

Pig Chop once took this pattern to ask the orc scholar Monroe, who told him that this was a signpost left by the king of the Strange Face Tribe.

The purpose is to tell the tribe following him that he has gone to the other side of the Grand Canyon.

If it returns, it should modify the road sign. Since the road sign has not changed, it means that the king of the strange face tribe is still in the north of the Grand Canyon.

If there is a chance, Pork Chop would like to meet this king.

Because Mr. Monroe told it that it was under the teaching and leadership of the king of the strange face tribe that many strange face tribes in the New World mastered the use of gunpowder weapons.

With the support of firearms, those strange face tribes jumped from the bottom of the ecological niche to the middle level or even higher. Sometimes large monsters have to go around them.

It is legendary.

It was not until the second half of the night that the acid pterosaurs fell into a deep sleep, and the hunters came out of the cracks in the rocks where they were hiding.

According to the plan, they will climb the second mountain barrier this night and cross the Grand Canyon.

Several people quickly filled their stomachs with dry food, drank a bottle of strong walking medicine, and then began to climb.

This time they were climbing in the Grand Canyon. Considering the danger of being attacked, full armor is necessary.

For hunters with outstanding physical strength, rock climbing with bare hands is not a difficult task, but equipped with a full set of protective weapons and bags weighing hundreds or even thousands of kilograms, the difficulty and danger increase sharply.

People can hold up, but rocks may not be able to hold up.

To avoid accidents, they connected each other with ropes.

Liefeng, who is best at climbing, was at the top, and Gordon, who had the heaviest equipment and was most likely to fall, was at the bottom.

They climbed up steadily and carefully, but when they reached the middle of the mountain rock wall, an accident still happened.

The rock protrusion that Gordon stepped on could not support the weight and broke apart.

His fast enough reaction speed and strong hand strength allowed him to grab the edge of another rock in the first time, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the stone, which was not strong to begin with, also collapsed from the rock wall.

Gordon, who lost his support point, almost fell, but fortunately he was hung by a safety rope.

The three people, three cats and one dog on top felt a huge force coming along the safety rope, pulling them down, and they were almost pulled down together.

Fortunately, there were enough people, and they gritted their teeth and held on for the most dangerous few seconds. Gordon also stuck to the rock wall in time and found a new strong enough support point, and finally escaped danger.

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a series of strange noises from below made their faces change drastically.

The sound of the rock collapse and rolling awakened several sleeping acid dragons. They flapped their wings and took off. The sound of chirping and screaming echoed in the Grand Canyon, and more acid pterosaurs were awakened by them.

The group quickly stopped their actions and quietly stuck to the rock wall, hoping that the group of acid pterosaurs would quickly calm down and not discover them.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.

The hunters were wearing invisible clothes, and the hunting cats were small and inconspicuous.

However, Liefeng, who was huge and carrying a bunch of pungent materials, quickly attracted the attention of an acid pterosaur not far away.

The attack began.

"Gah!"

"Ji Ya!"

More and more acid pterosaurs were attracted and kept attacking Liefeng. Liefeng, who was tied by a safety rope, could not dodge at all. He could only roar and bar his canines, turn his head and bite to try to fight back.

More acid pterosaurs were attracted by the fierce movement. If this continued, Liefeng would not be able to hold on sooner or later, and the situation became more and more critical.

There was no other choice at this time. Gordon gritted his teeth and shouted: "Anshil! Gail! Fire back! Shoot one by one!

Pork chop! Use flash bombs when you see an opportunity!"

Since everyone was climbing on a nearly vertical rock wall, at most they could only free one hand to operate the weapon.

Ansir held the Fierce Crossbow under his armpit with great difficulty. He could not aim at the target and shoot accurately. With the size and recoil of the heavy crossbow, it was a blessing from God that he was not shaken down.

Gale, who was using a light crossbow, was more successful. In this extreme situation, it was feasible to hold the light crossbow with one hand and shoot, but it could not last long and the shooting accuracy would be affected.

Fortunately, the distance was close enough. A large number of targets were less than 20 meters above her head. With continuous firing, two acid pterosaurs were soon shot down by her.

"Pay attention to storing bullets!" Ansir shouted to remind him.

He was very glad that he had loaded the heavy crossbow with ammunition in advance. The nine rounds of the Fierce Crossbow's normal bullet capacity were also considerable.

But the problem was that he could not change the bullet at all!

It was difficult to hold the heavy crossbow with one hand, and the other hand had to stabilize the body. How to change the bullet?

"Ha! Watch it!"

Gail laughed loudly and performed a stunt of changing bullets by biting the magazine with his mouth, which made Anxier stunned.

He wanted to imitate, but the position of the heavy crossbow magazine slot was far away, and he couldn't reach it even if he wanted to use his mouth.

With Gale as a relatively stable firepower point, the pressure on Liefeng was reduced a little.

Under the roar of continuous firing, more acid pterosaurs gathered, and the crisis was still not resolved.

"Now meow!" Zhuchop shouted.

It, Xianglan, and Sandstone, who had just become a hunting cat for two days, threw the flash bomb in their claws.

The sudden strong light swept everywhere, and the effect of this wave of flash bomb offensive was unexpectedly good.

Almost all the acid pterosaurs that gathered were hit and stunned, and most of them directly lost their sense of balance, screamed and smashed on the rock wall, and fell to the bottom of the valley.

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and the sound of bones breaking that made people's teeth ache were endless.

The acid pterosaurs that besieged them were immediately cleared.

Gordon was stunned for a second, then shouted, "Well done!"

"Take advantage of this moment, and continue to climb!" Hayata reminded loudly.

Liefeng, who was afraid of being bitten by the acid pterosaurs, roared and climbed up desperately. With the safety rope dragging, the hunters' climbing speed also increased a lot.

The acid pterosaurs farther away in the canyon were constantly attracted.

However, what attracted them were not the people, cats and dogs trying to climb on the rock wall, but the acid pterosaur corpses at the bottom of the valley with broken bones and strong bloody smell.

They were like a group of greedy vultures, rushing down, snatching and pecking at those of their own kind who might not have completely died.

At this time, the hunters didn't care about hiding in a low voice, and all burst out at the fastest speed, heading for the top of the mountain with all their strength.

It took a long time like this. When the horizon was faintly silvery, they finally climbed out of the Grand Canyon and came to the top of the second mountain.

The long-term full-speed climbing made the hunters' chests rise and fall violently, and they greedily breathed the moist air at the top of the peak in the early morning.

Until they set their sights on the world across the Grand Canyon.

At this moment, the hunters held their breath as if their throats were being strangled.
